Not a very good analogy. Windows is well known as not
being a free system in the first place so there is no
expectation of it ever being freely downloadable whereas
MeeGo is promoted as a (mostly at least) free system so
there *is* some expectation that it can be downloaded
without restriction.

It's confusing and frustrating when seemingly arbituary
parts of it can't be downloaded so, in this case, I stopped
paying attention.

Is there an ARM image, with associated source, that will
run on a (for instance) Beagleboard available anywhere?
